Los Angeles Love

 

There really is no way to describe how I feel about Los Angeles. I will say that I am one of those people who are proud of where they’re from. I am Latina and my family is from Mexico but my heart will always belong in the City of Angels. Some of my favorite songs are based on Los Angeles, like Red Hot Chili Peppers “Under the Bridge” or Tom Petty “Free Falling”.

Growing up here has been very memorable! From Down Town LA, to Santa Monica beach, and cruise back to the Valley. There’s nothing you can’t do. My favorite thing about living in LA is the people and all the cultures. There are all kinds of people and inspiration. My favorite thing to do is people watch and try to figure people out, find out what their story is.

The weather here is finally starting to cool down and its time to bring out the sweaters, high thigh socks, and booties!  This sweater has to be one of my favorites at the moment because there are multiple ways you can wear it, its definitely a must in a woman’s wardrobe this season!

Fashion Week Pt. 2- Project Ethos

I know were a little late on this post but we still wanted to share our experience that we had at a Los Angeles Fashion Week Event. We were so lucky when our friend Claudia from The Penny Closet invited us to join her for the Project Ethos Fashion Show. We also had the pleasure of meeting a local blogger Andriana from La Moda By Andriana. We shared a lot of common interests as well as live in the San Fernando Valley. It's amazing how you meet people and connect with them on a lot of levels.

We both decided to wear darker colors since we have transitioned over to fall. Jesal kept it simple and chic in burgundy corduroys and a button up and Kim decided to keep it classy and flirty in fringe and florals. (We swear we didn’t plan on matching!!!)

A Little Get Away

When I was a kid, it was a tradition to go back to Cd. Guzman, Mexico in October to celebrate the "Fiestas de Octubre". The celebration lasts for 19 days leading up to a finally of a huge, heavy wooden platform carrying the statues of the Patron Saint – St. Joseph holding el Niño Jesus – and the Virgin Mary. I bought my ticket last minute and packed everything the night before, here is what I wore on my 6 days in Mexico.

 

I fell in love with these printed maxi dresses from Charlotte Russe because the cut and details are amazing. You can find them on their website Here and Here!

 

 I decided to keep it simple with dresses as well as a leather jacket and flats or sandals. Flats came in handy because there is a lot of walking. My main accessory was the black hat that I purchased at forever 21. Because of the climate, my hair wasn’t working with me so I found it very convenient to throw on the hat. I kept my makeup also very light because it was still warm in Mexico. The green and purple maxi dresses where both purchased from Charlotte Russe and the two red dresses are from H&M.

I hope you all enjoyed!

Having Fashion Week in Los Angeles this past week was a amazing experience. We got the chance to attend that grand opening of The Left Shoe Company store in West Hollywood. This was one of a few events that we attended, and we must say we had such a great time drinking wine and checking out all of their great shoes.

   My beautiful fiance wore this lovely black dress and accessorized it with gold jewelry and an awesome clutch.

 

The event was a really great experience for us because we got to mingle with the creative minds of The Left Shoe Company and other local bloggers. They were also offering a chance to get custom made- to-measure footwear. Another local designer was also offering the chance to get a Bespoke suit.

 

 This was our first but definitely one of the best events from our busy Fashion Week. We are truly grateful to be apart of the fashion scene we have here in the beautiful city of Los Angeles. Blogging has really opened up doors for us and taught us many things. One of the best things it has done is help us creat friendships and meeting really unique, open minded, creative people that we now call friends.

Leatherette

Before I start, I would like to say I was hesitant about posting these photos because I felt like they weren’t “worthy” for the blog because I am wearing a crop top. I’ve never been a small body type nor would I ever want to be. I am very confident in my skin and I hate it when girls that are not skinny don’t appreciate themselves. It took me some time to learn that everyone is beautiful no matter what size they are. Blogging has really helped me come out of my shell and has taught me so much. So here you go, here are some photos I posed for in a crop top.

I bought these Amazing shorts during the summer at the Pasadena Flea Market because they reminded me of a pair Zara had but without the big price tag. The weather here in Los Angeles has been playing with our emotions, but the camel color is definitely a must have for the fall. These shorts will definitely be spotted on the blog again but maybe with a jacket or some tights.

I really hope that this blog post gets some of my fellow bloggers to change their mentality or help someone realize that they are beautiful no matter what society thinks of them.

We have always been fascinated with fashion and the unique style that matches with each person’s personality. Children are so fun and unique because even at a young age, they have their own style. Jesal and I have had long conversations about childhood memories and dressing up ourselves for fun even though our parents would tell us certain things didn’t look good.

We had the absolute pleasure to shop and style Vincent for a little back to school outfits. Vinny is a very cute boy and he has his own personality that we felt matched his outfits. We were excited when our friend Dora, Vincent’s mom, came to us and asked us to style him. We’ve styled adults before but not children. We were a little scared but as soon as we hit the children’s aisle we couldn’t contain ourselves. We don’t have any children and don’t plan on having them any time soon but when we do, the child will definitely be very stylish.

We were both very happy when we saw that Vinny LOVED his new threads! What we did was buy clothes that can be worn in different ways so he can have over 10 different outfits. We were happy to see Dora and Vincent smile and happy with the new outfits.

Black Dahlia

I will admit, that I was very intimidated to wear  leather shorts…actually leather anything! I always felt like if I didn’t wear them correctly I was going to look like a beat up biker babe or some crazy dominatrix person. The only kind of leather I would attempt to wear was a leather jacket or vest until my friend Angela convinced me to go out and buy some faux leather shorts.

 That said, I practically lived in these leather shorts this summer and will continue to over use them this fall and winter.  Not only are they trendy, they can be dressed up or down which is extremely important for a person like me who is always on the go.

Since then, I’ve been paring these shorts with everything! Dressed up with heels and blazer and dressed down with tee shirts and flats. In my advice, I suggest you keep it minimal with one pop of color  in your top or a bold necklace or even bold lips. I kept this outfit simple with nude heels and a bold lip.
